Jean came up with the idea for this Peekaboo Bunny Box. Jean is my dear friend (Allison’s Mom) who has a real job, but loves to come and play at my house.
I bet you were wondering why we named it a Peekaboo Bunny Box? Isn’t it darling with a Lindt chocolate bunny hiding inside?! Yep, when Jean isn’t doing high powered Accounting deals she’s thinking up ideas for bunny boxes. 🙂
I hope you’re now asking how you too can make this bunny box? Well, the good news is I’m doing a Facebook Live on Wednesday, April 3 at noon Central time and I will give you the measurements and share how to make this box. I sure hope you’ll join me. I’d love to chat with you! The bad news is today is the last day of Sale-A-Bration and if you want the Painted Seasons DSP I used on this box, you need to order today and choose it as a free Sale-A-Bration item.
The other day I posted the Painted Seasons Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg Box. Someone asked me if it was for the regular size egg or the snack size egg? I knew then I wanted to make a snack size egg box too!
Here’s the original box with the full size egg. You can’t tell in the picture, but there are no sides on these boxes. If you’re new to box making, this is the box for you. Quick and easy to make, less paper and less complicated. I made the box a little wide so you can tuck the edges of the wrapper under if you don’t want them to show.
The bunny and the “Easter Blessings” are both heat embossed.
Please join me at noon Central Time on my Stamping Mom Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/stampingmom and I’ll be showing you how to make the Mini Bunny Box. I spread the wrapper out in this picture, but it’s just as easy to tuck the ends inside the box.

Cut 4-1/4” x 5-1/2″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock
Cut 3-1/4″ x 8″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock scored at 4″
Cut 3″x 3-3/4″ Crushed Curry Cardstock
Cut (2) 1/4″ x 4” Tea Room Specialty DSP
Cut 3″x 3-3/4″ Whisper White Cardstock
Scraps of Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana for the butterflies
This picture shows to use the framelit with “bigger holes” on the Bermuda Bay cardstock which will be the background of the Butterfly. I cut the Coastal Cabana butterlies with the smaller holes framelits, this will be the top layer. When I cut out all five butterflies, I used the top two for one card, the big middle butterfly for one card and the two smaller butterflies on the bottom for a third card. Lots of bang for your buck, by getting butterflies for three different cards. 🙂
Instructions
Run the Crushed Curry through the Big Shot using the Tufted embossing folder. Add dots to the intersections of the diamonds using the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker and set aside to dry.
Apply Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana scraps and run through the Big Shot using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies. If you cut out all five butterflies for each color you have enough butterflies to make three of these cards.
Adhere the Coastal Cabana butterflies to the top of the Bermuda Bay Butterflies and add Clear Rhinestones.
Adhere the two Tea Room DSP pieces to the sides of the 4-1/4” x 5-1/2″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock leaving about a 1/8″ border on all three sides.
Adhere the 3-1/4″ x 8″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock scored at 4″ to the front of the card between the two DSP pieces.
Stamp the butterfly from the Beauty Abounds stamp set on the Whisper White Cardstock and adhere on the inside of the Bermuda Bay folded piece.
Remove adhesive paper from the back of the butterflies and attach to the front of the Crushed Curry piece.
Don’t forget to stamp something cute on your envelope. We don’t want naked insides or naked envelopes. More joy will be had at the mailbox, when the recipient knows there’s something fun inside. 🙂
Assemble the card as shown in the picture. Email me with questions at Beth@StampingMom.com
My family has been skiing in Summit Co. Colorado this week. I actually taught Steve how to ski when we were in ninth grade. That first day of learning how to ski wasn’t pretty. You might find this hard to believe, but Steve used to have quite a temper. After he fell and threw his poles several times, I left him and skied with our friends, that actually knew how to ski. This motivated him and by the end of day one, Steve had mastered the bunny hill. I tell you this mainly because Steve can ski circles around me today, so I have to hearken back to when my skiing skills were superior to make myself feel better. 🙂
Steve and I taught all our kids to ski. Sean first skied in Colorado when he was three and four. He cried if we tried to leave him in the “ski nursery,” so instead he would ski behind me with his skis between mine and he would hold onto my legs. We made a pretty good team! Sean lives in Seattle and actually skis most weekends, so he is definitely a black diamond skier today.
We then had three more kids in five years and didn’t ski for several years. Not enough time, money or energy to take a family of six skiing. Ryan and Keegan didn’t learn until about four years ago, but Keegan is a daredevil! Unfortunately, late this afternoon the daredevil and a tree collided. Looks like the tree won and Keegan may be sporting a black eye tomorrow. Thankfully he’s OK.
I did some research during my years of raising boys and learned that the rational part of a boy’s brain isn’t fully developed until he is 25 years old or so. Ryan loves to ski as well, but since he’s 23 and has a close to fully formed brain, he is more careful and didn’t have any tree incidents. Keegan is 18, that might explain a few things…
Abby went to Seattle to a microbiology conference this week and had a wonderful time. Abby flew in the day Sean flew out. Abby actually doesn’t enjoy skiing so she wasn’t too sad to miss the week.
I have somehow bummed up my arm and was not able to ski at all. Now you know the real reason why I had to tell the story of be being a better skier than Steve back in the day. 🙂
Here’s my very handsome husband and the gorgeous mountains. Sean took this picture. If you read this all the way to the bottom, thank you! I love to hear your comments or questions.
